Selection of die components is an important activity for the design of a compound die. The traditional methods of carrying out this task are complex, time-consuming, and skill-intensive. This paper describes the research work involved in the development of an expert system for selection of components of compound die. The proposed system is constructed in the form of eight modules. For development of system modules, domain knowledge acquired from different sources of knowledge acquisition is refined and then framed in the form of "IF-Then" variety of production rules. System modules are coded in AutoLISP language and user interface is created using Visual Basic (VB). The system is capable of imparting expert advices for selection of type and size of all major die components including die block, die gages, stripper, stripper springs, punches, punch plate, die-set, fasteners, and knockout bar. The proposed system can be implemented on a PC having VB and AutoCAD softwares. Therefore, the implementation cost of proposed system is low and hence easily affordable for small scale stampingindustries.

Die-set is an essential tool accessory in sheet metal punching and blanking. The selection of the die-set represents an important activity in the die design operation. Time and money consumed in this operation could be saved by using an automated selection system for die-set components. This paper discusses an intelligent die-set selection system using the AutoCAD platform. The developed system is able to work as either standalone or connected with any die design CAD system by using the well-known AutoCAD programming tools. The proposed system is built using IF-THEN rules approach. The system code is developed using AutoCAD with Visual Basic. A data-base of Nasr Automotive Company (NASCO) for die-set was considered, from which suitable size of die-set was selected automatically. The proposed system could reduce the consumed time in the tool room department from hours to minutes and could reduce effort and cost as well.

In the past few decades, there has been lot of focus on the issue of sustainability. This has occurred due to the growing concerns related to climate change and the growing awareness about environmental concerns. Also, the competition at global level has led to the search for the most sustainable route in the industries. The current research work deals with the selection of green supplier in a Nickle coating industry based on certain weighted green attributes. For this purpose, a hybrid tool comprising of Fuzzy AHP (Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy) and VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) is used. The Fuzzy AHP is used for assigning proper weights to the selected criteria for supplier evaluation, while VIKOR is used for final supplier selection based on the weighted criteria. The three criterions for green supplier selection are, Ecological packaging, Corporate socio-environmental responsibility and Staff Training. The outcome of the integrated model may serve as a steppingstone to other SMEs in different sectors for selecting the most suitable supplier for addressing the sustainability issue.

ABSTRACT We present criteria for the selection of M-dwarfs down to G < 14.5 using all-sky survey data, with a view to identifying potential M-dwarfs, to be confirmed spectroscopically by the FunnelWeb survey. Two sets of criteria were developed. The first, based on absolute magnitude in the Gaia G passband, with MG > 7.7, selects 76,392 stars, with 81.0 per cent expected to be M-dwarfs at a completeness of >97 per cent. The second is based on colour and uses Gaia, WISE, and 2MASS all-sky photometry. This criteria identifies 94,479 candidate M-dwarfs, of which between 29.4 per cent and 47.3 per cent are expected to be true M-dwarfs, and which contains 99.6 per cent of expected M-dwarfs. Both criteria were developed using synthetic galaxy model predictions, and a previously spectroscopically classified set of M- and K-dwarfs, to evaluate both M-dwarf completeness and false-positive detections (i.e. the non-M-dwarf contamination rate). Both criteria used in combination demonstrate how each excludes different sources of contamination. We therefore developed a final set of criteria that combines absolute magnitude and colour selection to identify 74,091 stars. All these sets of criteria select numbers of objects feasible for confirmation via massively multiplexed spectroscopic surveys like FunnelWeb.

This paper presents a low cost knowledge based system (KBS) framework for design of bending die. Considerations for development of KBS are discussed at some length. The proposed framework divides the task of development of expert system into different modules for major activities of bending die design. The procedure of development of KBS modules is also described at length. Production rules for each module are recommended to be coded in the AutoLISP language and designed to be loaded into the prompt area of AutoCAD or through user interface created using Visual Basic. Each module of the proposed framework is user interactive. Development of one module of the proposed framework is also described at length. This module is capable to assess manufacturability of bending sheet metal parts. An illustrative example is also included to demonstrate the usefulness of this module. The proposed system framework is flexible enough to accommodate new acquired knowledge. As the proposed system is implementable on a PC having AutoCAD software, therefore its low cost of implementation makes it affordable even by small scale sheet metal industries.
